Hiking

Ushguli (Ushguli) is a true gem of Georgia, located at the end of the world and certainly of Europe! This complex of several small settlements is considered the highest permanently inhabited village in Europe. Although it is actually in the Caucasus, i.e. on the border between Europe and Asia! Thanks to its unique character and the accumulation of unusual Gothic towers, Ushguli has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1996.
